Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Ryujin]

Alcohol?

And anything remotely like praise for his work.

 

[Ryujin]

paychecks?

Especially those from lawsuits.

Alcohol?

made me think of the old joke: what do you get when you mix literature and alcohol?

Trip to see my in-laws almost complete; it just remains to fly back home. Mostly successfully navigated, except for the evening where my mother-in-law sat us down to tell us off for our "permissive" parenting, without actually saying anything about our "permissive" parenting. Like, it was a lot of, "Well, I don't feel like I can say anything," followed by my factual reply of, "I've actually asked you for advice as recently as this week." No specific points were raised, no constructive criticism was given, just a lot of vague, "I don't want to offend, and I don't feel like I can say anything."

I thought it was a clash of Ask Culture versus Guess Culture, but my wife pointed out my mother-in-law's first husband would get into a lot of screaming arguments with his wife, and speculated that her mother has become addicted to the adrenalin rush. Too bad for her my dad and I got into serious arguments my whole life growing up, and I now refuse to get into them unless they are absolutely necessary. I have a thick skin.

Seems like saying that once is boundary testing, saying it repeatedly is looking for a fix as you say.

That giant sucking sound on the credit card of renewing four professional societies and scouts for myself and the spawn...

The hilarious part, to me, is that Grandma is the one who most often gives my daughter sweets and let's her get away with things!

Her: "I don't want to be the heavy."
Me: immediately "That's fine! Make me the heavy! I don't mind at all!"
Her: nonplussed facial expression

I just realized that boardgame age ranges are wild, like at first you're just hoping to avoid snakes and make it to the end of the board first, then BAM at 8 you're allowed to help solve a murder.

The biggest challenge in getting into publishing is all of the "everyone already knows this" knowledge that seems impossible to research on your own on the internet.

Is it actually an Affinity template rather than a "clean" document?

I wish for an ignore feature that also hides posts responding to a person I have blocked. And one that auto blocks both people when there is a long train of back and forth involving only them that runs on for pages.

Let’s get those AI tools doing something actually helpful!
